My husband and I stayed with Vinh and Stuart during our honeymoon in October 2010. Vinh and Stuart were wonderful hosts to us in their beautiful home, and left us feeling as though we were visiting friends visiting, not strangers in a far away land. I can't recommend them highly enough. My husband and I would love the opportunity to visit Sydney again someday, and look forward to seeing Vinh and Stuart when we do.

execellent stay. enjoyed it

The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Excellent location for visiting Sydney. Vinh was is a very helpful, kind person and so easy to get along with. (Stuart we didn't meet) Their home is beautiful with a lovely view from the kitchen. Thank you so much.

Vinh and Stuart were excellent hosts. They were quick to respond to any questions before arrival and made us feel really welcomed while we stayed at their place. The location was really convinient and close to all of Sydney's major attractions. I definitely recommend staying at this location.

As my first AirBnB experience, this was a magnificent introduction. Vinh and Stuart were superb hosts...and Kenji their Pomeranian, was equally enthusiastic but very well-behaved and unobtrusive. Their three-story terrace house was unpretentiously stylish but with a retreat-like, relaxed ambience, warm and light. The location was fantastically close to the essence of Sydney...Darling Harbour, Bay-side parks, the City, Circular Quay; all within an enjoyable walking distance. In line with the AirBnB concept I felt the way in which we could share time was rich, informative and very flexible. I could come and go as I needed, enjoyed engaged conversation on occasions or the gift of attending to my own thoughts or activities comfortably as desired....A beautiful balance and repose. They also gave me access to their wifi which was great to maintain my internet commitments. Even though they were often out enjoying to their own social activities Stuart and Vinh ensured that my son (who was occasionally visiting me) and I, felt entirely at home and even cooked us both a delicious breakfast with organic-market bought ingredients the morning I was scheduled to leave. The previous day we'd shared a walk down to the monthly Saturday morning market by the bay. I benefited too from hearing of their travel experiences and valued the opportunity to ask about their business venture...where they help creative people define and empower themselves to 'Make Tomorrow (URL HIDDEN) much so that I've chosen to use their services! So in essence...I'm very grateful, enthusiastic and inspired by the time spent with Vinh and Stuart and would highly recommend their 'AirBnB' experience.

Upon my arrival I was warmly greeted with a hot pot of tea, a breakfast pastry, and the affections of Kenji, their adorable pomeranian. After a bit of chatting, Stuart gave me a tour of the house and it's amenities. He even gave me a bus pass with a few rides left on it. Their comfortable house is immaculately clean and conveniently located. The bus stops just right outside and I was within walking distance of most of the neighborhoods. There are also many restaurants to choose from within a radius of a few blocks. For those traveling without their laptop, they have an extra computer for guests to use. Stuart and Vinh are exceptional hosts – very friendly, helpful and a delight to talk to. On my next visit to Sydney I would stay with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything Stuart and Vinh, I couldn't have asked for anything more!

We´ve been with Vinh&Stuart for 4 nights in January 2011. Their home is lovely and looks really as shown. It felt like coming home when they invited us to us their house. And in the evenings, coming back from an exciting day in Sydney, Vinh was sitting at the table, "ready" for a litlle chat. The location is good: Bus stop, Supermarket, Cafe and great Thai across the street; 5 Minutes to Darling Harbour and 10 Minutes to Town Hall. Unfortunately they will move, so we´ve been the last guests. But we hope, they will share their new apt in Sydney also with AirBnB.

My boyfriend and I loved staying in this stylish apartment, in a quaint street of Surry Hills. We particularly loved the close proximity to The beautiful bars and restaurants along crown and Bourke street; and the easy 15-20 minute walk right into the heart of the city. Would absolutely come back again, the location is perfect, the apartment is clever and sleek.

If you don't stay here while in Sydney, you ARE missing out! Noa and Max are phenomenal hosts. Their communication, professionalism and friendliness was excellent and the studio an absolute dream. It's gorgeous, comfortable, spacious and pristine - but full of character. It's also in a great location with the most delicious restaurants around. We were so sad to leave but will definitely be back again. Thank you Noa and Max!

Super friendly hosts. Cool, funky apartment

Great location - easy access from central station and walkable distance to CBD. Surry Hills has a great atmosphere with tonnes of restaurants, cafes, bars etc. Highly recommend. Noa was very accommodating. Very clean and hip studio. Perfect for a cheeky weekend away

Beautiful little house perfect for a couple! Would definitely go back!

It was the perfect spot for my bff and I to shop vintage stores, eat at cute cafe's, and a short Uber away from everything else you hope to see in Sydney! The den has the greatest decor and I'll never forget my stay! Highly recommended so maybe it won't be my last time staying there!

Very clean house, very nice decor and quiet, yet right in the middle of Surry Hills where there is lots to explore.

Noa was very helpful and easy to communicate in booking and organising check in/baggage drop off. The place looks exactly like the picture- well furnished, neat and great living area. Good walking distance to Central station and shops that pretty much everything you need is around the hood. The place was perfect for two people, great aircon and wifi but moderate noise from upstairs (taking into consideration that it is two storey apt). Highly recommend Noa's flat for those who don't want to spend a fortune on accomodation but still wants an above average place! Cheers.

Thais is a caring host, everything is arranged properly even she is not around. The apartment is great and exactly the same as described.

Probably the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in. She even had two eggs and bread in the refrigerator for me. Pretty amazing host and great apartment

Thais was an exceptionally accommodating host and her apartment is as lovely and well appointed as it looks! Thais was extremely responsive and helpful in the lead-up to my arrival and was kind enough to have a loaf of bread and a few other supplies on hand for my arrival. Unfortunately, I had to cut my trip short because of a death in my family, and Thais couldn't have been more understanding or gracious about the situation.

Nice apartment as same as the photos shown. Warm welcomed with breakfast and all basic items. Tourist information booklets were also provided which saved my time to look for one. Thais was responsible and easy to communicate. She gave instant replies and came to solve the problem when she found one. Do recommend this place!

Awesome apartment!! Placed in a really remarkable and good atmosphere neighborhood! The landholder's attention and dedication could not better... I do not hesitate if I come back to Sydney.

The host has great attention to details and very responsible. We had a great experience. Highly recommended.

A huge thank you to Thais for being such a fantastic host! Thais could not have done more to make my parents stay in Sydney more welcoming - they would come back to stay in this beautiful apartment in a heartbeat! All aspects of the booking, check-in and follow up communication were outstanding - Thais greeted us personally and did everything possible to make my parents feel at ease after a 21 hour flight from England! The apartment was impeccably clean and comfortable - no complaints at all! Thank you so much!

Definitely recommend to stay. Great place and very nice host.

A five star rating for Reid! I highly recommend staying with Reid if you are planning to visit Sydney. Reid is an amazing host and person and he made me feel very welcome in his home. His place is lovely and the location is superb. If I ever have the chance to come back, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Reid!

Reid was a wonderful host and I felt very comfortable in his beautiful home.

I would recommend anyone to stay at Reid's place.He was a great host and his flat is superbly located and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay.

Cosy place with great location :) Reid was excellent host, had great time staying at his place!

Reid's apartment is ideally located with all Sydney touristic attractions at a walking distance as well as great cafés, restaurants and shops in the lively Darlinghurst/Surry Hills neighbourhoods. Reid is very welcoming and happy to share good addresses. Highly recommend if you're travelling solo and want to make the most of Sydney in a nice, clean and friendly environment. Reid is a busy person so he's always in and out (for those who need more privacy) but equally a great host.

Reid was a perfect and welcoming host. He was very nice in providing me with maps and other materials in order for me to enjoy the best of Sydney. The room itself is nicely decorated and does look like exactly what is shown in the pics. The apartment is cozy and the location is great, very close to metro/train station Museum and the best spots in town. Recommended!

Really enjoyed staying with Reid, he's a wonderful host, very friendly and welcoming and you will feel instantly at ease in his home. His apartment is beautiful, absolutely spotless, in a perfect location, very comfortable, with wonderful art all over the place. It's also in a great location with a number of restaurants and bars just down the road but very close to the city with the lovely Hyde Park pretty much on your doorstep. I would definitely stay with Reid again.

I loved staying with Reid. He is a warm, friendly person who made me feel very welcome. The apartment was well appointed, clean and comfortable. The bed was super comfy and it's a great location, being close to the city, Hyde Park and only 10minutes walk away from the conference I was attending at SMC. I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance :)

Dean & Bron King are very pleasant and friendly host. were really helpful and welcoming during our stay at Sydney. The apartment is in the perfect location,The facilities were great and the apartment was amazing, The house was clean and tidy. Wish we could have stayed for longer, it was really nice getting to know our lovely host. Dean & Bron King的房子位置很好,离市区不远,步行25分钟左右可以到达唐人街。周边环境安静绿树如茵,房子设施齐备,干净整洁,房东热情好客,家里有个高大帅气的大男孩。值得推荐!

Bron was a great host, making us fee at home from the moment we arrived and gave us some great local tips for places to eat. Will definitely stay here again

Had the most wonderful stay with Bron, lovely neighbourhood with lots of cafes and restaurants, very accessible location, it was perfect! The entire house smells exquisite, loved the pets too! We had a nice conversation over some wine before we left. If I were to visit Sydney again I would definitely stay here, and make sure to recommend and share this experience with my friends too. Thank you for being such a lovely and insightful host Bron, very memorable stay. :)

Beautiful terrace, beautiful location. Felt warm + welcome by hosts. Definitely recommend.

Bron was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely stay here next time in the area!

My stay with Bron and Dean is the most enjoyable Airbnb stay so far - they are both wonderful hosts - hospitable, thoughtful and generous with their time. It was great getting spending time with them and their gentle lovely pets in this gorgeous house. Surry Hills is the neighbourhood to stay at - great restaurants, cool bars and shops, very central...and this house is 2minutes walk away to the best gelato, Messina. This is an absolute gem!!

The place was beautiful and as described in the ad. Great location, we caught a few short cabs to the city and walked in one day.

Lovely house, as described. Very comfortable bed and fully appointed bathroom. Surrey Hills is an excellent location - plenty of stylish cafe's, bars, restaurants, boutiques. Access to the city is easy by foot (15 mins) and likewise the airport is an easy cab ride away. The house is located in a quiet street and is also close to various parks. Hostess Bron was lovely - she welcomed me late in the evening and was always on hand for advice and chat. I would recommend this location without hesitation.

My stay with Mel was perfect! There is seriously not one thing I could fault- the place is clean, comfortable, stunningly decorated but still feels like home! Mel is lovely and such a good host and her dog Harry is a sweetie! I would highly recommend staying with Mel!

This is my first time use airbnb,I think I'm so lucky to stay with Mel and Harry. Mel's house is fantastic!Looks like same as photo,and Mel is a kind person,I have great time stay there. And this house locations also very convenient ,closed to Redfern station.and supermarket just behind house. I really recommend stay Mel's house.

Mel's is a great place to stay. She was very accommodating with our check-in time after twenty hours of travel. She has a few electrical adapters, which was great since I had the wrong type. Uber from the airport is quick and it's cheaper than the train for two. The house is a short walk from the Redfern station, which is only one stop from Central. Redfern has some nice bars and restaurants. Don't miss Bean & Berry (on the corner); the coffee, food, and staff are excellent. Across the street from Mel's is the Pitt St. Diner. I had one of my best meals there during two weeks in Australia. Surry Hills is close, with lots of dining options. It's not too far to Newtown, with a vibrant commercial district.

Lovely place. Great area. Fantastic cafe on the corner - Berry and Bean. Easy access to trains. Mel was a lovely host. Pity I had to study most of the time I was staying here! I would have loved to have had more time to enjoy the area.

I had such a wonderful stay at Mel's place, she really made me feel right at home from the very beginning. Great communication, beautiful natural light, lovely bed and great bathroom - the whole place and room is impeccable and a true home away from home. I cannot recommend Mel's place more other than I can't wait to stay here again! Thank you for making my time here just perfect!

Great location! Very clean, updated and comfy stay! I would stay here again! Mel is very welcoming and a wonderful host!

Mel is a delight. She makes it easy and comfortable and you feel like you are staying with your sister. It's quiet, clean and close to everything. I will definitely be back.

Mel has a beautiful house in a great location in Sydney. The room is great, perfect as a base from which to explore. Mel was the perfect host, friendly and helpful, with loads of great local recommendations. I had a great stay here. Thanks Mel!

Good location and excellent transport links to the city. Enjoyed our stay in Sydney.

Sabine was out of city during our stay, so we didn't have a pleasure to meet her in person. Despite our non-standard check-in time she was able to organize smooth key transition. The premises are quite spacious. We were staying in Sabina's room, which has en-suite shower room. The pool and gym areas are very good (and free for those who has the key). There are a few pools, whirlpool and a good saunas (male and female) in the pool area. Bus stop is around the corner and it takes about half an hour to get to the city center (by 301, 302 or 303 buses), where the Opera House, museums, ferry hub and many other PoIs are located. We really enjoyed our stay in this place.

Close to everything and very good host

Awesome location! Close to city, Sydney beaches and public transport. I enjoyed comfortable home experience during my stay. Thanks Sabine~

Nice appartement in a good, save location. Good access to the public transport. We really enjoyed the stay at Sabine's appartement!

Sabine was very helpful with directions to the spot and was easy to get a hold of if I had a question.

A very welcoming place and nice to stay. The train station is quite far. But it's near a bus stop and taking the bus is never a hassle in Sydney. The grocery and supermarket is near too. It would be nice if the bedroom doors can be locked.

Sabine's home is in a nice suburb which is easily accessible to amenities and to the cbd. The home is very comfy and well equipped and the roommates are very nice too! Great stay!

Helena is one of the most accommodating and welcoming hosts you can imagine. I booked Helena’s home at the last minute due to my hotel being overbooked. Helena was prepared fresh fruits and orange juice for me when I arrived at 11pm. During the 5 days of my stay, Helena made my business trip go as smooth as possible. She was even kind enough to help me pick up my laundry! The space, private room, and bathroom is exactly as described - very clean and comfortable. I’m so happy that I made good choice. Thank You Helena!

Helena owns a nice tidy place in a great neighbourhodd. She has been very caring and helpful and made it a very pleasant first AirBNB experience for me.

I think Helena is nice person and because of this I find it difficult to say that I never really felt comfortable during my stay. I've never left a negative review before and I don't wish to do so now, but I feel obligated to give an accurate account of my stay. Helena's house is very clean, but she often complained about a lack of cleanliness or disrespect from previous guests. I didn't find this very comfortable. At the same time, I also struggled with hearing conceited accounts of other guests stay and AirBnB's praise of Helena. I often felt like I could not have basic independence. I could not get a glass of water without intervention and although it could be presented as a hospitable gesture, many such things made me feel unwelcome. I was also regularly reminded not to loose the keys and asked to return them the night before I left in case I forgot. This seemed odd and almost compulsive from my perspective. The final thing that motivated me to write a review was that coming up to the last day of my stay Helena had started continually mentioning that she asks many guests not to leave a review. I found this strange and I could not follow the reasons she offered. I tried not to engage with this conversation but on the last day, Helena provided these stories again and when I did not offer a response she quite directly asked me 'so, will you leave a review...'. I really didn't like this and I felt forced to say more directly than I should have to, that I will make my own determination about this. I felt this behaviour was bullying and that on other people it may have had the desired effect. That's not ok. I will finish by saying that if you were to judge Helena by intent, I think se is a good person. She takes care of her place and intends to be hospitable. She even invited me out to lunch one day. Despite this, the small things that come across as obsessive made me at times uncomfortable. You may have a different experience, especially with a short stay.

Helena is a lovely host. Very nice to talk to and eager to take care of her guests with for instance homemade lovely coffee in the morning. The location is brilliant. Very quiet but also right in the centre of this lovely Surry Hills neighbourhood. I recommend it!

Helena was an excellent host! Amazingly friendly and attentive. Absolutely wonderful. This is the cleanest house you will ever stay at and the floor is incredibly shiny. I would definitely stay here again.

It was very pleasant to spend 5days at Helena's place. She's one of those hosts who make everything just handy and comfortable for you. If you want someplace close to the downtown and cozy like your home, this is what you should look at.

What can I say about Helena and her home? In 1 word, perfection. She is the kindest person I've ever met. She was so concerned about me having a comfortable stay at her house and made me feel welcome with fresh fruit, strong coffee and plenty of water. Her house and the bedroom are immaculate, we got on very well and will no doubt keep in contact with other for a long time. I would strongly recommend her place to anyone, she needs to put her prices up!! Thanks Helena and keep in touch

Perfection and minimal beauty both describe Helena and also the home. Helena calculated my exact arrival time and helped with all my local travels by providing different routes to use. Surry Hills has a variety of alternative cultural scenes with the familiarity of basic needs while on a business trip. No excessive noise outside at night and no unnecessary clutter or items inside the absolutely clean and minimal home. Gracious with offers of assistance at all times, Helena has an amazing lifestyle with a firm control over life.

The apartment is very clean and is at a good location. Though I was expecting the sleeping arrangements to be a little better. The bedroom upstairs and the second bed in the living room are not very private. Other than that we really like the apartment. Plus the host is very helpful.

It's a good location, very close to city, there's a Coles nearby and a train station in less than 10 mins walk. The only issue is the locating the property. It's tucked away and not easy to find. Once you find the property, finding the right carpark is another battle. If you're arriving during the daytime , would definitely recommend the place. Very clean and well kept.

Very secure apartment, we comfortably had 5 adults staying. Close to bus, shops, nice pool/spa. Very clean.

Great location closeby to public transport and shopping complex. Nice and clean with a nice sleeping situation. Great communication with host made it easy to settle in.

What a nice place! Clean, comfortable, nice. Everything good...

Nice place to stay around zetland. Not so far from city.

I came with a group and we had a wonderful stay. For the advantages of this place, it was a: -Quiet and clean neighbourhood -Clean apartment -Nice bathroom -Great and communicative hosts -Wonderful facilities including a pool, spa and a bbq -10 minute walk from the station -Big comfy beds! As for any improvements I would suggest: -Better ventilation. Air felt heavy at times -Dishware!! Cups and mugs are essential but lucky we had some haha Overall, considering this place is a new listing, it was a good stay. Would love to come back if ever needed be. Thanks Xueyi and Leo :)

On of the best places I've been in. The owner let me in before and was very kind and reachable at anytime. Very quit and safe place. I really recommend this place and owner and I will not be hesitated to rent this place again. In short, I like everything Bandar

It was ok

Our stay at Yoco was very nice and relaxing. It is located 8min walk from Central St. and very well served by buses (bus stop just crossing the street). The charming old house is quite big and has a lovely backyard with a sunny garden. Stayed at the yellow room: good space and comfy. Robbie and Luca were helpful and provided everything we needed. Thanks!!

Great stay thanks :)

Ground floor orange room was a generous space with warm lighting that makes the space comfortable and homely. Love the desk access and wardrobe space along with shelving to stay organised with luggae material. Bathroom and kitchen are colour coded for own item placements which is great. The only thing would be the cold weather! And not having access to a heater was tough experience from the weeks stay. Kitchen could've been cleaner due to variables of other room mates which is unpreventable. Due to the only one indoor bathroom, had to wait half hour for a room mates' nightly bathtub regime, which is too unpreventable. Overall, great stay and comfortable, will definitely house at the orange room again in near future!

This is a unique place and I loved it. The location is great for the price and everything is so close by including the train station which is 5 mins away. The rooms are nice and big and there is a good feel to the place.

Room was great and cosy. However kitchen was a messy.

Great

The location of the house is ten minutes walk to 'Central Station' and a bus stop right across the street (bus quite often). For me and my boyfriend it was fine! The room was quite large (we were in the orange room) and tidy. Towels were given and the bathroom was fine. We didn't use the kitchen so I couldn't write anything about it. One thing that could have been better: We got the wrong door code (twisted numbers) and couldn't reach anyone on the given phone number (at 10 pm when we arrived). We were happy that we haven't had to wait for so long until two other guests came and let us in. We haven't see Yoco but that was okay for us. During the day we were all time on tour in Sydney so maybe we missed him. In total I can recommend this accomodation to enjoy and explore Sydney!

Not bad. I didn't meet with Chris in person but he described the location of the place very well. Short walk away from plenty of cafe's/bars etc. or short Uber into the city. Value for money and everything you need really especially if you're travelling on a budget.

Chris was excellent. Prompt communication, seemless check in, spotless apartment. It's cosy and fully equipped, and close to everything you could want. Would highly recommend.

Great stay close to airport, and city center (-: Chris was extremely helpful

I enjoyed my stay here. Great value for money especially in Sydney. It is a one bedder off a side street so it is quiet. All the amenities are there and the fridge also had some basic items. There are some restaurants off Bourke Street nearby and a Coles within walking distance. Not sure about the train location but there are bus stops close by that can get you into the city hotspots in 20 to thirty minutes. Chris was helpful and very responsive. An issue arose with the wifi the night I arrived and was fixed by lunch the next day. I even got a bottle of wine as an apology. Highly recommended.

Chris was an excellent host who was very helpful with check-in instructions. His place was perfect for our overnight stay and he had fully stocked the fridge with breakfast foods for us! Thanks Chris!

Great little place for a weekend stay in the city :)
